Apparently Thiel doesn’t “do” ethics. It’s not his style.
They have an “Ethics Agreement” ??
The only clause I can imagine is "Donald Trump gets a 10% cut from everyone, no exceptions! "
Thiel spokesman Jeremiah Hall did not respond to multiple questions from Politico asking for confirmation, saying only, “Peter’s team wants talented people to work in government. Everyone on the team abides by the rules in pursuing that goal.”
He has no intention of signing that NDA.
"Voters are tired of being lied to," he said. “It was both insane and somehow inevitable that DC insiders expected this election to be a rerun between the two political dynasties who led us through the two most gigantic financial bubbles of our time.”
According to Politico, Thiel dressed as Hulk Hogan, the wrestler who sued Gawker Media for publishing his sex tape. Thiel bankrolled the lawsuit, which bankrupted the media company.
sigh, i wanted to be wrong.
Here’s that TPM Thiel profile from earlier in the year.
This link also discusses that Thiel press conference at the NPC. If you recognize any of the names in that article, just hum.
Trump team and ethics agreement? Oxymoron if I’ve ever seen one. What’s it say - make sure you abandon your ethics at the door in the off chance our vetting team let someone through who has some?
Does this “ethics agreement” say that no one can steal from the government faster than Trump? He’s gotta give himself a head start here!
Pence won’t let him bring his rent boys to the White House. Sad!
Doubt that Trump himself would sign the ethics agreement!
"Why should I ? I am the Boss ! "
Billionaire Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel will not confirm that
he’s signed an ethics agreement with President-elect Donald Trump’s
White House transition team, raising red flags about conflicts of
interest.
…
Trump team has an ethics agreement?
Who knew?
Is that the same as a "nondisclosure agreement?
Jeebus!
Does the signatory have to take the agreement literally?
Sonderkommando Thiel is a pox. To be sure, he is a thoroughly despicable and thoroughly self-absorbed person.
Use and destroy people than turn them into party costumes, how Flavian…
Party’s an annual Mercer affair turned Trump gloat fest for billionaires and henchmen…
KAC ruled as Bizarro Supergirl!
Or lampshades, if they have nice tatoos
raising red flags about conflicts of interest.
I’d say it’s less flag raising and more potential criminal looting raising. With this group of deplorables, it’s safe to assume the absolute worst.
Bizarro Supergirl is much prettier and more lifelike than KAC. KAC is more of a female Skeletor.
Yeah…no conflict there, right Billionaires???
“Trump transition team ethics agreement.” Huh? Look up “contradiction in terms” and that’s the first example.
Since when is there Ethics among Thieves?
And Thiel is richer than Trump, which means Trump ultimately has little to no leverage over him - according to Trump’s own standards.
